An important part of the general agreement on the importance of education in achieving the goals ... more An important part of the general agreement on the importance of education in achieving the goals of sustainable development also refers to the function and responsibility of the University. In this context, in recent years, much attention has been paid to advancing the process of integrating sustainability in universities, which is accompanied by the adoption of a transformative approach, linking theoretical with practical discourse and exploring new applications within and between scientific disciplines. The paper will present the concept of sustainable development in the context of education, with special emphasis on the presentation of education for sustainable development in the educational systems of Serbia. The focus of the paper is the analysis of the state of sustainable development in academic education in our country. The aim was to examine the extent to which education for sustainable development is represented at the faculties of social sciences and humanities of the University of Serbia. The selected methodology was based on the content analysis of the curriculum and syllabus with interviews with professors and assistants of selected faculties. Given that professors have been identified as bearers of education for sustainable development, the key to educating students for sustainable development is, and must be, in the education and continuous training of pedagogical staff in this field.

The author's contribution to this work is reflected in pointing out the basic factors and essential problems that arise when reforming the educational system in order to apply the concept of education for sustainable development. The paper offers solutions to these problems, providing established guidelines on how to reform the education system. In this case, it is about the perception of students of three regional centers-Niš and Kosovska Mitrovica in Serbia, and East Sarajevo-Pala in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of our research show that a very small number of students are familiar with the emergence of the idea of OR, which confirms the fact that awareness and especially knowledge of citizens about OR, both at the level of the EU and especially at the level of Serbia, is far from desirable and necessary. The results of the research can be useful for decision makers who participate in the creation of the educational system; and they would be particularly significant for the reform of the education system in Serbia, where education for sustainable development is still viewed as a theoretical rather than a practical issue.

Upravo, u uslovima povećanja broja obolelih od malignih bolesti, primena digitalnih komunikacija daje nove okvire pružanja zdravstvenih usluga, kao i organizovanja preventivnih aktivnosti. U radu se testiraju razlike u odgovorima između ispitanika različitih demografskih karakteristika, procene opšteg zdravlja, obavljenom skriningu i primljenim informacijama o malignim bolestima. Autori sprovedenim istraživanjem upravo žele da skrenu pažnju na aktuelne probleme zdravstvenog sistema, kako bi se definisale strategije za nove načine poslovanja u zdravstvu. U tom kontekstu su i svi njihovi napori. Ključne reči: Digitalne komunikacije, svest pacijenata, informacije, demografske karakteristike, onkološke bolesti Uvodna razmatranja Dvadeset prvi vek se karakteriše globalizacijom društva koje postaje najznačajnija i najjača pokretačka poluga savremene civilizacije i predstavlja uzajamnu povezanost

Povećanje učestalosti nepovoljnih vremenskih uslova, kao i moguće povećanje ekstremnih prirodnih ... more Povećanje učestalosti nepovoljnih vremenskih uslova, kao i moguće povećanje ekstremnih prirodnih pojava (porast temperature i padavina) sa katastrofalnim posledicama zasigurno će imati značajan uticaj na sve sektore i delatnosti koji su na bilo kakav način povezani sa prirodnim i ljudskim resursima, njihovim korišćenjem i zaštitom. Očekivane promene klime izazvaće niz novih loših posledica po društvo i njegov razvoj. Otuda sve više klimatske promene predstavljaju jednu od tema koja će obeležiti 21. vek, ujedno predstavljajući problem zbog koga će biti sprovedene različite aktivnosti na svim lokalitetima širom sveta, a u cilju adaptacije i mitigacije. Ovo pogotovo dobija na značaju ako se uzme činjenica da je ljudska civilizacija, i pored snažnog tehnološkog razvoja, i dalje suštinski vezana za prirodne sisteme i direktno zavisi od procesa koji se u njima odvijaju.
Sva ova dešavanja imaju, i imaće, svoje negativne posledice koje najčešće merimo ekonomskim pokazateljima, ali i žrtvama ekstremnih prirodnih nepogoda. Određene kategorije stanovništva nesrazmerno su pogođene posledicama klimatskih promena. Mnoga istraživanja pokazala su da se žene suočavaju sa većim rizikom i da na njih najčešće pada teret sanacije kriznih situacija, dok su deca posebno podložna negativnim efektima.
Autorke u radu čine napor da ukažu na značaj povećanja otpornosti od posledica klimatskih promena, pri čemu se posebno fokusiraju na regione sa višim stopama siromaštva, naročito određenih grupa ljudi u zemljama sa niskim prihodima zdravstveno ugrožene usled neželjenih efekata klimatskih promena. Ove rizične grupe uključuju gradsku sirotinju, starije osobe, malu i decu sa smetnjama, tradicionalna društva, poljoprivredna domaćinstva i primorske populacije, migrante i druge ranjive kategorije.
Ključne reči: Klimatske promene, adaptacija i mitigacija, ranjive kategorije, vulnerabilne grupe stanovništva.
An increase in the frequency of unfavorable weather conditions, as well as a possible increase in extreme natural phenomena (increase in temperature and precipitation) with catastrophic consequences will certainly have a significant impact on all sectors and activities that are in any way related to natural and human resources, their use and protection. Expected climate changes will cause a series of new bad consequences for society and its development. Hence, climate change increasingly represents one of the topics that will mark the 21st century, at the same time representing a problem for which various activities will be implemented in all localities around the world, with the aim of adaptation and mitigation. This becomes especially important if we take into account the fact that human civilization, despite strong technological development, is still fundamentally connected to natural systems and directly depends on the processes that take place in them.
All these events have, and will have, their own negative consequences, which are usually measured by economic indicators, but also by victims of extreme natural disasters. Certain categories of the population are disproportionately affected by the consequences of climate change. Many studies have shown that women face a greater risk and that the burden of remediating crisis situations most often falls on them, while children are especially susceptible to negative effects.
In the paper, the authors make an effort to point out the importance of increasing resilience as a result of climate change, focusing in particular on regions with higher poverty rates, especially certain groups of people in low-income countries whose health is at risk due to the adverse effects of climate change. These risk groups include the urban poor, the elderly, infants and children with disabilities, traditional societies, agricultural households and coastal populations, migrants and other vulnerable categories.
Keywords: Climate change, adaptation and mitigation, vulnerable categories, vulnerable population groups.

Споменица Живојина Ђурића (1954-2022), 2023

The old people with their biological and psychological features, with their social position and other aspects, are the inexhaustible source of professional research of doctors and sociologists. As opposed to the usual pessimistic attitude of ageing and the old age, the paper points, within the humanist and social work frame, to man's awareness of overcoming the transience of human existence by cultivating a sense and a beauty of life. By elaborating on the concept of ageing, the authors stress the length and the quality of life, which could be advanced by the interaction of three groups of factors: social engagement and participation, the reduction of illness and the improvement of the high level of psychological and mental functions.

The effectiveness of online-learning and online-teaching depends on many factors. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the effectiveness of knowledge management in new circumstances and to explain its use and strategies. A qualitative research was conducted during April and May 2022 in two higher educational institutions for nurses in Serbia. Data on a comprehensive view of the quality of teaching and learning methods was obtained through the opinions and attitudes of students and teachers who participated in two focus groups. The results showed that the most important factors that impact the quality of online-learning and online-teaching are: attitudes and motivation of students and teachers, confidence in using the technology involved, clarity of speech, teaching design, preparation for teaching, ability to monitor educational outcomes, clinical reasoning, storytelling. The more effective online-learning and online-teaching were, the more benefits and positive outcomes the students and teachers experienced. This study recognized some trends in nursing education, such as innovative teaching strategies of improving students' clinical ability and leadership. The knowledge management structure and process can improve the education of nurses, and consequently improve the performance of teaching hospitals, which is the main goal of nursing education.

Ever since it emerged as a science, sociology has been faced with various difficulties, including those pertaining to the definition of its object, which is the result of the underdeveloped state of this particular science and the specificities of its subject matter (primarily its historicalness). Within the discipline itself, there is some confusion about what it actually means to be a sociologist. The fact that many people outside sociology (including nonsociologists at universities) do not take sociology seriously would be easier to accept if sociologists themselves did not occasionally have such thoughts as well. Still, anyone who participates in the various sociological gatherings cannot help noticing the self-doubt and even clear dissatisfaction with the fate of the sociologist today. Sociology must go back to the ''great'' questions, say Berger and Kelner, thereby referring to the questions about the very nature and structure of the modern world. In other words, it is not important only how to be, but also what it means to be a sociologist. The paper analyses the position of sociology as a profession. Because of the way in which it emerged after the Second World War and the way it has been developing, the position of sociology has oscillated with political changes, which have determined its development. Sociology has developed against two backgrounds: the political and sociological context, in which it has been instrumentalized by politics, on the one hand, and the ontological and theoretical one, as a "younger and more immature sister of philosophy''. Since the classic results of sociology represent the foundation of all the important social sciences and the humanities, sociology could be a transdisciplinary spiritual field in which those sciences can cooperate and communicate most profitably. It is through a rational dialogue among the humanities that sociology can be best and sustainably revived. In that way, it would not only regain the status it used to have but would also attain a new, more lasting one.
